This coffee is the result of our new collaboration with LaREB (La Real Expedición Botánica), and a beautiful example of how provenance, genetics, and restraint can come together in a truly elegant cup.
Finca El Encanto is located in Filandia, Quindío, a region far less commonly associated with Geisha production, making this lot especially exciting. The farm is run by Daisy & Fredy Acevedo, second-generation Colombian coffee farmers whose journey into specialty coffee began abroad, in Panama.
It was there, in the early days of the modern specialty movement, that they witnessed the rediscovery of the Geisha variety and its potential to redefine coffee value. Inspired by this moment, they returned to Colombia with seed stock from original Panamanian Geisha genetics and began planting trial lots with remarkable results.
In 2017, Daisy and Fredy acquired El Encanto, where today they grow Geisha under shade at high elevation, combining biodiversity, careful agronomy, and thoughtful processing. This coffee is a clear expression of that vision — a classic Colombian Geisha profile, clean, floral, and vibrant, offered at a price that makes it beautifully approachable.
